than it has declared in recent years. Since the start of the war against Ukraine in February 2022, Russia’s defense budget has increased sharply every year. In addition, Russia’s interpretation of “defense spending” differs significantly from the NATO definition, German
intelligence officials note. A comprehensive analysis of budget data conducted by BND shows that Russia’s defense budget in recent years was 66% higher than officially reported. Unaccounted expenditures include, for example, construction projects of the Ministry of Defense,
Two guys got drunk and met two Brazilian women at a bar...
And built a $1 billion coconut water empire.
Here's the insane story of Vita Coco that beat Coca-Cola at its own game:

Let's rewind to 2003.
Michael Kirban and Ira Liran met two Brazilian women at a Manhattan bar.
The women raved about "água de coco" or coconut water — Brazil's go-to hangover cure and workout drink, sold everywhere.
In America? Nobody had heard of it.

That night changed everything for both of them...
But Ira went all in, beyond business.
He sold everything he owned, maxed out his credit cards, and moved to Brazil to marry one of the women.

For 80 years, the Democrats have backed gerrymandering to the extreme (one district protecting a Black candidate in Florida stretches for 200 miles and at some points is one inch wide), and then there is Hillary Clinton’s manufactured dossier designed to slander Trump,

A jury wouldn’t convict the pro-Pal accused of breaking the spine of a police officer with a sledgehammer.
This country is WEAK and we are going to see more violence. SHAMEFUL.
This country is WEAK and we are going to see more violence. SHAMEFUL.
These thugs were cleared of the most serious offence and the jury wouldn’t convict them of the other offences. Now we wait to see if the prosecution will seek a retrial for those. This is truly shocking and damning for jury trials. news.sky.com/story/six-pale…
A juror complained about these posters put up saying they could acquit on conscience. This amounts to jury tampering and there should have been a mistrial.
Ernie Hudson is 80 years old.

Just repeatable systems he’s followed for years:

He basically treats physical fitness like mental fitness:
Small reps.
Daily repetition.
No drama.
And that’s why it lasts decades.

Consistency beats intensity.
A system you can run for 20 years beats a “transformation” you quit in 20 days.
Your body and mind are your responsibility.
Hudson says, "Build habits that compound."
At 30 you call it “fitness.”
At 80 you call it freedom.

🚨 BREAKING: Filton 6 defendants have been given a "not guilty" verdict or "no verdict" by a jury on ALL charges.
Not a single defendant was convicted of any offence.
The jury also refused to convict Samuel Corner on the charge of committing GBH against a cop

@RealMediaGB I am overwhelmed with joy and relief that these wonderful people have been acquitted by a jury of their peers, despite the judge directing the jury to find them guilty. This sort of thing is exactly why Lab is abolishing jury trials

This understanding articulated by Stephen, about the scientifically substantiated interconnectedness of the ecosystem, is the basis for what I posted Sunday about the "loss of ecstasy in worship" in churches that have been captured by the larger cultural abandonment of nature. 1/
The key portion for this : "The scientific ecosystem understanding of life on Earth, really is quite apart from the general cultural world view of modern Western culture, ...the majority,... have the old Western view, of nature, as something detached..." 2/
My ongoing issue with the modern churches is how easily they have abandoned what the roots of the faith affirm about the earth (and nearly every other Indigenous, faithful transmission of those faiths have done). The call to "steward the earth" is declared as THE FIRST command 3/

The U.S. is hosting 50+ countries to talk about loosening China’s grip on critical minerals.
Translation:
👉 the system already lost control.
When governments meet about supply chains, the shortage is real.

China doesn’t just mine minerals.
China controls processing, refining, and delivery timing.
That’s the choke point.
And no amount of speeches can rebuild that overnight.
Years, not months.
